09/20/2011 - Cleveland, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Alexei Ramirez brought across the game- deciding run in the seventh inning to cap a 5-4 White Sox comeback victory over the Indians in the second game of a doubleheader.
Cleveland took the twinbill opener by a score of 4-3, thanks to home runs by Travis Hafner, Asdrubal Cabrera and Kosuke Fukudome.
Gordon Beckham posted three doubles, an RBI and a run scored for Chicago, who won for the second time in three games.
Matt Thornton (2-5) earned the win with 1 1/3 scoreless innings of relief. Dylan Axelrod allowed four runs on seven hits and four walks through 4 2/3 innings in his second major-league start.
Zach Putnam (0-1) allowed two runs while recording one out in the seventh for the loss. Tribe starter Zach McAllister lasted 5 1/3 innings, allowing two runs on six hits and a walk in his third career start.
Jason Donald went 4-for-5 with a run scored for the Indians, losers in two of their last three.
After back-to-back singles by Donald and Carlos Santana to start the fourth, Jim Thome pulled a ball through the right side of the infield, scoring Donald and moving Santana to third. Shelley Duncan then walked to load the bases and Grady Sizemore's sacrifice fly to left brought Santana across the plate.
Matt LaPorta stepped up next and hit a first-pitch double over the head of Dayan Viciedo in right field to bring home Thome. Jack Hannahan's sacrifice fly to center scored Duncan to make it a 4-0 game.
The White Sox answered with a run in the fourth. Alejandro de Aza singled, moved to second on Omar Visquel's base hit and came home on Beckham's two-out double high off the wall in left field.
McAllister walked Ramirez and induced a pop out to first by Paul Konerko in the sixth before being replaced by Rafael Perez.
Perez gave a free pass to Adam Dunn, but then got Viciedo to hit a grounder to short. Donald's throw to second was a little too far to the right, making Luis Valbuena's relay throw to first late and Viciedo reached safely. De Aza followed with a double to left to plate Ramirez and Viciedo, bringing the White Sox within one.
"We lost the game in the sixth inning," said Indians manager Manny Acta. "If we turn that double play it's a different story."
Putnam started the seventh for Cleveland and was greeted by a Tyler Flowers base hit and a Beckham double to put runners on second and third. Pierre brought Flowers home with a groundout to second and Ramirez's run-scoring, bloop single to shallow center field gave Chicago a 5-4 lead.
Jesse Crain and Chris Sale combined to pitch a scoreless eighth inning, and Sale faced the minimum in the ninth to earn his seventh save of the year.

Many fans thought it was the best side in the nation by the end of last season. This year, the polls have built on Georgia's momentum and granted it the No. 1 preseason ranking, followed by Ohio State and USC. (The Associated Press has the Buckeyes at No. 2; USA Today took the Trojans.)
"To have people believing we have one of the best teams in the nation going into this thing, it's exciting for us," Bulldogs coach Mark Richt told the AP. "I don't think anything is guaranteed, but we certainly have put ourselves in position where at least the college football world thinks we're pretty good."
Georgia Bulldogs - 9.5 wins
There's no question they're good, but the Bulldogs have one of the toughest 12-game schedules in the nation, mostly because they play in the powerhouse Southeastern Conference. Away games at No. 15 Arizona State, No. 7 LSU and No. 10 Auburn loom large, with contests between the hedges versus No. 24 Alabama and No. 18 Tennessee as well as the World's Largest Cocktail Party in Jacksonville versus No.5 Florida.
Ohio State Buckeyes - 10 wins
Like the Bulldogs, the Buckeyes also have a number of tough road contests in 2008. After two scrimmages dressed up as real games versus Youngstown State and Ohio, it's off to face USC. Other tough away games include No.13 Wisconsin in October and No. 20 Illinois in November. Granted, it should be pretty easy sledding at the Horseshoe. In fact, the only ranked team that travels to Columbus is No. 22 Penn State, in October.
USC Trojans - 10.5 wins
A similarly light schedule awaits the Trojans of Southern California, which is why the oddsmakers' total is one win more and the over is currently commanding -150 odds. Pete Carroll's troops only play three ranked teams in 2008, and all of those games are at home. After what should be an easy trip to Virginia to start things off on Aug. 30, the Trojans get two weeks to prepare for Ohio State in Los Angeles. Their two other ranked opponents, No. 21 Oregon and No. 15 Arizona State, visit in consecutive weeks to start the month of October. After that, the competition eases up. Of course, this is the same highly-touted school that lost to Stanford in 2007 and Oregon State in 2006. And don't discount the fact that USC plays its biggest rivals, Notre Dame and UCLA, back-to-back to close out the regular season. On paper, the Trojans are far superior, but motivation will be high for the Irish and Bruins, especially if their historic foes are in national-title contention.
Odds to Win the Heisman Trophy
Tim Tebow, Florida - 7/2
He won it last year, so it's no surprise he's the favorite to do it again, making him just the second player to go back-to-back. Ohio State's Archie Griffin turned the trick in 1974 and 1975, and Tebow's coach, Urban Meyer, is pretty sure his star quarterback can match the Buckeyes legend.
"There has never been anyone quite like him," Meyer told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "I am very lucky to be his coach."
Chris Wells, Ohio State - 5/1
The man they call "Beanie" was a star recruit out of high school, so it's not like nobody knew who the star tailback was before he rushed for 576 yards as a freshman in 2006 and 1,609 as a sophomore. But perhaps his finest moment came last year versus Michigan when he rumbled for 222 yards and two touchdowns in the Buckeyes' 14-3 victory over the hated Wolverines.
Knowshon Moreno, Georgia - 8/1
If the Bulldogs are to live up to expectations, they'll need a huge effort from their sophomore running back. This might be the last year of college ball for Moreno, who rushed for 1,334 yards and for 14 touchdowns as a freshman, while adding 253 receiving yards on 20 receptions, so expect big things for the man from Belford, N.J.
